qmail-ldap

qmail-ldap Installation

You will need to get the following software:

From your distro install slapd (openldap), phpldapadmin, daemontools-run, and ucspi-tcp-ipv6.

Optional:

  • <uri strref=“http://cr.yp.to/software/ezmlm-0.53.tar.gz”/> [ezmlm notes|#ezmlm] - mailing list manager ( Requires the dash-trick patch if you plan to set up LDAP users to have mailing lists, rather than just real users )

Untar qmail, and apply the current qmail-ldap patch: <pre> tar xvzf qmail-1.03.tar.gz cd qmail-1.03; gzip -dc ../qmail-ldap-1.03-xxxxxxxx.patch.gz | patch -p1 </pre>

    You will need to edit the qmail-1.03/Makefile and make sure that the definitions at the top are correct. Especially make sure the entries for
      MDIRMAKE=-DAUTOMAILDIRMAKE
      HDIRMAKE=-DAUTOHOMEDIRMAKE
    are uncommented!

<list><ul><li>Edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf and replace where possible:<ul><li><tt>schemacheck</tt> - to on</li><li><tt>suffix</tt> - use either <tt>'dc=domianname, dc=com'</tt> -or- <tt>'o=~MrZesty, c=CA'</tt> (organization, country)</li><li><tt>rootdn</tt> - <tt>'cn=Manager, dc=mrzesty, dc=net'</tt> - must match suffix above</li><li><tt>rootpw</tt>- change your password from 'secret'</li><li><tt>index objectclass,mail,~mailAlternateAddress,uid eq</tt></li></ul></li></ul></list>

    Edit <tt>/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf</tt> and set your BASE dn:
  • <tt>BASE dc=mrzesty, dc=net</tt>

<p> Copy <tt>qmail-1.03/qmail.schema</tt> to <tt><em>usr/local/etc/openldap/schema</em></tt> and add the following 3 lines to <tt>/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</tt> after the first include line</p>

include /etc/openldap/schema/qmail.schema

    or you can look at the file INSTALL.ids for commands for your O/S.
    For linux I use:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 201 nofiles
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 202 qmail
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 201 -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias -m -k /dev/null -s /bin/true -c 'qmail server' alias
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 202 -g nofiles -d /var/qmail  -s /bin/true -c 'qmail server' qmaild

<list><ul><li>Create the initial entries in the LDAP database for the qmail-ldap structure. Create a file <tt>qmail-ldap.ldif</tt> with the following contents, modified as needed for your setup:</li></ul></list>

    Now load the ldif file into the LDAP directory:

    Now configure daemontools:
mkdir -p /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log
mkdir -p /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log

Create <tt>/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run</tt>:</p>

<list><ul><li>Unknown to me - you end up with TLS SMTP encryption installed - without even asking! qmail will advertise the capability of receiving encrypted SMTP messages, but it won't work until you set up a server certificate (This one is a self-signed certificate for 10 years - 3650 days):</li></ul></list>

Received: from unknown (HELO www.TBS-satellite.com) (213.186.35.102) (envelope-sender )
        by 0 (qmail-ldap-1.03) with RC4-SHA encrypted SMTP

virtualdomains (wildcard domain aliasing):

I have an old domain pic.ab.ca - I wanted to set up [email protected] to be automatically rewritten to [email protected]

To do that you must add the domain to the control/rcpthosts file <strong>only!</strong> (not to locals like you would normally do), then create a file called virtualdomains in your qmail/control directory. <p>Assuming that you set ldaplocaldelivery to 0 (as above), then the line in your virtualdomains file would look like:</p>

pic.ab.ca:mrzesty

and create a file called ~alias/.qmail-mrzesty-default that contains:

| forward ${DEFAULT}@mrzesty.net

If you left <tt>ldaplocaldelivery</tt> on (1 or no file), then you must specify the user to handle the email aliasing. Your virtualdomains line would be:

<tt>pic.ab.ca:alias-mrzesty</tt> <p>if you wanted the user 'alias' to handle the direction of the mail. If you wanted a regular user to handle the mail, you could just as easily make it</p><p><tt>pic.ab.ca:ian</tt></p><p>then by creating a ~ian/.qmail-default file, all mail for pic.ab.ca would be directed through the instructions in ~ian/.qmail-default</p>

SMTP_AUTH:

<uri strref=“http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/#SMTP%20AUTH”/>

If you get: <p> <tt>421 out of memory (#4.3.0)</tt></p><p>You need to check the permissions on /var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp! auth_smtp must be executable by qmaild. Try a chmod 755 /var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp</p>

telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.mrzesty.net ESMTP
helo mrzesty.net
250 mail.mrzesty.net
auth plain
421 out of memory (#4.3.0)
535 auth failure
quit

If you want to test smtp-auth and 'auth login' you will need to generate base64 encoded versions of your username and password (I'm using PHP here):

echo '<?php print base64_encode('ian').'\n'; ?>' | php
aWFu

echo '<?php print base64_encode('password').'\n'; ?>' | php
cGFzc3dvcmQ=

… then supply when prompted by VXNlcm5hbWU6 (Username:) and UGFzc3dvcmQ6 (Password:)

telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.mrzesty.net ESMTP

cGFzc3dvcmQ=
235 go ahead
rset

If you authenticate successfully, you will see '235 go ahead'.

ezmlm:

I would suggest getting the ezmlm-idx patch <uri strref=“http://ezmlm.org/,”/> it has a lot more features and the ability to use MySQL or PostreSQL for the list storage.

To add a footer to each message sent to the list for regular ezmlm-0.53, edit the ~user/maillist/editor file and add: <p><tt>| cat - /var/qmail/alias/maillist/text/footer</tt> to the beginning of the ezmlm-send line.</p><p>For example:</p>

|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-reject
| cat - /var/qmail/alias/maillist/text/footer |/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send '/var/qmail/alias/maillist'
|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-warn '/var/qmail/alias/maillist' || exit 0

Then create the /var/qmail/alias/maillist/text/footer file with instructions or notes about the mailing list.

OpenLDAP Replication notes:

Add the following to the primary openldap server's slapd.conf:

replogfile /usr/local/var/openldap-slurp/slurpd.replog <p>replica host=ldap2.mrzesty.net:389 binddn='cn=manager,dc=mrzesty,dc=net' bindmethod=simple credentials=managers-password</p><p>Add the following two lines to the slave's slapd.conf:</p><p>updatedn 'cn=manager,dc=mrzesty,dc=net'</p><p>updateref ldap://ldap1.mrzesty.net</p><p>Start slapd and slurpd on the primary ldap server, and start slapd on the secondary. If you already have data in the ldap database - you should manually copy the /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm directory and its files to the slave server - before starting slapd and slurpd.</p>
